The Orphanage (2007) MOVIE REACTION! FIRST TIME WATCHING!!

[@blancaherreroespana5035]

Spanish horror is SO underrated. I managed to trick my mum to come with me and watch this at the cinema while we were waiting for my dad to come back from a trip (the cinema was at the train station). The push and the mouth jumpscares got us good, but the twist and the ending emotionally destroyed us. When we went to pick up my dad we looked ghastly, although not as bad as the time we watched The Road.

[@yiledute]

Spanish horror is like the old Nursey songs. They often try to teach something or give a message, but end up being super creepy and eerie, specially because most don't have a happy ending because there is no escaping nor beating death.

[@PrimeCircuit]

I know a lot of people don't like it but I thought "Mama" was pretty creepy too.

[@leandroferraz3776]

I agree. Spanish horror/thriller is great!!

[@badlilkitty96]

It is really becoming my favorite. It is way more disturbing then American horror and the visuals are always scary af!!!! And they let you SEE the disturbing imagery.

[@MrJose72289]

Have you seen The Skin I live in?

[@0103harleyq]

The twist of this film has haunted me since I was a teenager. Still makes me tear up.

[@HomeworkRadio]

I watched this when it first came out and the twist has never left me to this day.

[@jose9593]

This is one of those rare movies where you get creeped out at the same time you get very emotional. I love it.

[@TequilaToothpick]

This and Sixth Sense

[@jose9593]

@@TequilaToothpick Absolutely. The Others (2001), with Nicole Kidman, is another one that gets me.

[@cuchelo1]

@@jose9593 I literally just watched a reaction vid for "The Others" and commented that it was similar to this one in terms of brilliant construction. Just absolutely wonderful movies, both.

[@Sword_Boi]

I saw this when it came out back in school. We were taken to see it as part of a field trip to the Glasgow Film Theatre. The justification was that it was educational as it was in Spanish. Even though the school didn't even teach Spanish. I think the teachers just wanted to see it, and we had the budget for field trips that would go to waste. But it was still the best field trip we went on.

[@Scott_Forsell]

I'm very jealous. In Spanish class in high school in the late 70s we listened to pop songs on vinyl to try to pick out the lyrics (which is a terrible teaching technique). No movies... in retrospect, he was a really crappy teacher.

[@smiffy68]

I used to have a student pass to the GFT. I saw over a hundred moves in just one year in there. Plus trips to the Odeon and Canon. AND I still got my degree!

[@zupermaus9276]

I strongly recommend The Devil's Backbone, del Toro's seminal film that got him recognised outside Spain and round the world. Set during the Spanish Civil War it sets many of his creepfest storybook themes - an isolated orphanage, tales of a haunting, and an unsolved disappearance -all to historical edge. His best film, and the one his later offerings have always tried to revisit.

[@Lannisen]

Yes yes, love this film.

[@delciagarcia8287]

Gracias! Love Guillermo del Toro’s work. I appreciate that you guys did not use a dubbed version. Great job as always. 🙏

[@yiledute]

Such a fantastic horror film

[@gayhomosexuallll]

yes!!

[@Johnny_Socko]

When I saw Pan's Labyrinth I thought, "I liked this movie better when it was called The Devil's Backbone."

[@sandramorris893]

What I love about this film is how it led you down a scary road with plenty of things to make you believe it was going to be a horror, the boy with the bag on his head, the old lady and the dialogue of the son all led you, but all the time these things were being played out somehow you felt safe with the main character, she was never really afraid even when she cut her fingers she was still believably strong, she sort of held your hand, I suppose just like a Mother would (which is clever writing and acting) The scene when she was playing that game, I was shitting myself but because she just did it and wasn't terrified she made me feel safe. This was one of the most character led films I've ever watched and because you became so invested in her the ending was heart breaking for her.

[@Doitfornoreason]

What a nerd. Calm down😂😂😂 This movie is made for idiots like you, Someone who's not smart but perceives itself to be one 😂😂

[@stepitup25]

I haven’t seen this in years. The “knock on the wall” scene was very creepy, I definitely remember that scene!

[@sarahwalton2662]

I haven't watched you guys for a while, but clicked immediately on this one. It's such a beautiful and tragic story. I found it weirdly a relief at the end when it's revealed that none of the scary haunting parts were I'm any way malevolent. In fact any sense of fear and tension are flipped immediately to sorrow and grief. So very clever. I think the only other movie that I can compare this to is The Others. Thanks for this one guys 😊

[@chucknorris8704]

I remember watching this the year it came out. Bawled my eyes out at the ending.

[@wehaveadarkside]

el orfanato is such a sad, beautiful incredible movie, i absolutely loved the neverland, peter pan reference and how they threw it in the beginning for it to come together in the end

[@evaserration6223]

The psychic was played by Geraldine Chaplin. Charlie's granddaughter who appeared as her own grandmother opposite Robert Downey Jr when he played Charlie.

[@AjaXxXDenia]

Geraldine is actually Charlie's Daughter. Her daughter (and therefore Charlie's granddaughter) is Oona Chaplin, who played Talisa in Game of thrones (Robb's wife)

[@evaserration6223]

@@AjaXxXDenia You're right, I just missplaced the 'grand' part of it!

[@Markyajv]

We were sobbing so hard in the theater when this movie ended. It's one of my favorite films. There is one that came out before this that Guillermo Del Toro was involved in called "The Devils Backbone" which is really good also.

[@leeb6476]

I love this movie. It's a really good companion piece to Pans Labyrinth and Devils Backbone. Throw in REC. from around the same time and you have a great period of Spanish Fantasy/Horror Language cinema.

[@rachelmckitterick]

I'd never given non English speaking movies much of a chance. I often felt the having to read subtitles too distracting. But something drew me to this and wow! It was INCREDIBLE. The darkness and depth in the story and then the ending.....that...... ENDING. I was emotionally drained after but in a good way. Even now this is still one of my absolute favourite movies. It was so much fun watching you both react to it, so thank you.

[@paulrees3861]

It has a real 'gut punch' of an ending, huge play on the emotions.

[@kennethdesmondmosley1075]

So glad you watched this. This movie is one of my top 5. It's shot beautifully. And on the big screen it was AMAZING to watch. May I suggest you also watch the devil's backbone. It's a good watch

[@LavenderDusk7]

Ok Ringu AND The Orphanage are literally two of my favorite foreign horror movies. Y'all are spoiling me

[@pyro380]

Fun fact: In Germany this movie was given a 12 certificate.

[@rodvarmo]

What's that

[@andreaturner7207]

Your reactions to the "knock on the wall" was the same as mine when I first saw this movie when it came out.

[@AlessaParker]

I remember seeing this when I was in high school with a bunch of friends cramped into a tiny DVD rental viewing room. it was so tiny that we were basically sitting on each other's laps. whenever someone jumped at a scare or shivered, the rest of us would feel it like some ripple effect, ESPECIALLY at the scene at 11:23 😂

[@billybobtexas]

This film is criminally underseen by the horror community but really also by cinema lovers. I think you hear alot about The Others, where this film is as good as that. The end shocks. Fkn hurts. So good. I always recommend to folks when they wanna see a good horror movie.

[@Mangolite]

If you want another great Spanish horror, then go for The Others by Alejandro Amenåbar. Although it is Spanish production, it is an English-language film starring Nicole Kidman and Christopher Eccleston and produced by Tom Cruise.

[@PiraticOctopus]

It’s always nice to hear the perspectives of people who are more knowledgeable about film than I am because y’all point out things I wouldn’t have paid attention to or acknowledged otherwise (like the setup of certain shots and why they’re so good, etc.). I especially love watching these kinds of movie reviews/discussions for psychological thriller/horror movies, because I’m fascinated by the genre but I’m too much of a chicken to sit down and watch them myself. Keep it up, you guys are awesome!

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

I'd have to rewatch the full movie again but when I first saw it, I remember thinking that the kids' ghosts actually did exist and helped her to find Simon because she found their bodies. So I thought both things were true... that Simons death was a horrible tragedy and his mother was losing her mind from grief but the ghosts also did exist as well. But I might be recalling it wrong, it's been years since I saw it.

[@marion.daniele]

This is one of my all time favorites ! Even watching glimpses of it through your video made me cry all over again. It is a heartbreaking story. The end is so poetic and soooo much like Peter Pan : "it's her" (just like in Hook when the lost children reunit with a grown up Peter and recognise him)

[@simplyrowen]

I love that you guys give a full rundown of what each movie was like for you. Much like you’d do with friends after finishing a movie at the cinema. I don’t know why, but most “reaction” channels barely “react” and/or have such shallow commentary at the end. I love that you have depth as individuals, which makes for such rich, full formed perspectives, opinions and emotion regarding the characters and their journey 👏🏼👌🏼

[@evam9526]

This movie got amassing reviews; it was highly rated worldwide. Entirelly in Spanish language, this film by J.A Bayona, got a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, won 9 Awards, including 7 Goya Awards, and was nominated to another 15 more. Much appreciated in US, the movie got an American remake in 2009.

[@Mauriciovavel]

Nice reaction!, there is another film produced by Guillermo del Toro with the same actress Belen rueda, its "Julia's Eyes" or "Los ojos de julia" in spanish, you should react to that one too, its really good.

[@O___________0]

Ahhh El Orfanato and Belén Rueda 😩♥️ I LOVE that you guys are always willing to give a chance to Spanish films. Spanish horror is amazing (REC, El Laberinto del Fauno, El Orfanato…). Great reaction as always!

[@3twelve206]

So glad to find reactions to this awesome movie!

[@amberdot42]

Saw this in the theater when it was released. I remember knock on the wall being so tense, I tightened my muscles and held my breathe a little more each time she started to turn around. And you're right about the twist, finding out she accidently locked Simone in that basement room and the thud she heard was his fall; he'd been right there the whole time. You get tons of recommendations and requests I'm sure but someday if you haven't seen it and it fits in your schedule try Shutter, 2004 from Thailand

[@davidgaunt5018]

I'd completely forgotten that Geraldine Chaplin was in this. She is the daughter of the legendary Charlie Chaplin.

[@echo.echo08]

The revenge on the children reminded me of the Japanese film The Cinderella Addiction (2021). It's a thriller disguised as a romance. I came to it blind because i lost a bet and was forced do a marathon of asian romcoms. my friends and i thought it was going to be a romance and it seemed to start as that but somewhere along the way it started to kind of become like a thriller which reminded me of The Good Son (1993) and it just got darker and darker. It's not as good as this film but I still appreciate how new the storytelling felt. It seemed all over the place but I still liked that it didn't completely turn out to be a cheesy asian romcom after all.

[@dottiegillespie8067]

I do agree with you gentlemen. Fantastic film, thank you for picking this one! 👍

[@eddietucker7005]

I know you want foreign films not in English but still on fantastic film is “The Hallow” from Ireland. It’s based on old Irish folklore. It’s good to see a film that uses practical effects and practical Costuming of the Hallow.

Never forget this movie, one of my favorites. And that plot twist is heartbreaking 💔

[@earwen__]

Guillermo del Toro always makes such emotionally scarring movies and they're just so so good. They're as much comforting as they are horrifying, because they oftentimes depict those ugly but real motives, while being ambigious in the way of seeing it as supernatural or not. And he can capture this suspense so well, while evenutally ripping your heart out with the emotional hurt!

[@UnveiledAngel]

I think the old lady just wanted to remove the evidence.

[@iceprincess2134]

To be honest I think Del Toro "heavily borrowed" his idea for 'Shape of Water' from a little known Spanish horror author who wrote 'Cold Skin', which was made into movie. I highly recommend it. Creepy and has a much more cohesive messaging that's not as hamfisted.
